When governments go down the road of secrecy and denial these are the sorts of practices that are bound to eventuate from within affected communities, most likely a result of far too little information being made available because of the general secrecy adopted by authorities.

This all just adds to the hugely increased risk for H2H cross contamination with the eventual potential to allow the few mutations that are needed for H5N1 avian influenza to become a world wide pandemic.

Obviously these practices that Indonesia has adopted must be condemed for the potential danger they pose to the whole worlds population.
